Antonia’s journey started somewhere in the 1500s bullet rating, and through years of dedication and probably countless cups of coffee, she soared to a blazing bullet peak rating of 2291 by 2024 — more than enough to keep her opponents on their toes.
Her blitz games are no less impressive, reaching a peak rating of 2323. Not to mention her rapid games, which may be fewer in number, but boast a respectable win rate of 66.7%. She plays long, deliberate games, averaging over 74 moves per win, proving patience is indeed a virtue.

She’s not a fan of premature surrender either, resigning early less than 2% of the time. Instead, she steers games deep into the endgame stage 75% of the time, where her strategic skills truly shine.
The Mental Game
